2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S Cabriolet presented online

Porsche is characterized by strong ideals and building sports cars has become an art that makes them a unique, trustful company. Porsche means the peak of everything starting with luxury and performance and this is a fact that anyone in the world knows. The Germans have decided to present the new Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S Cabriolet online, before the planned date of November 20, on the occasion of the L.A. Auto Show.

Both the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Turbo S Cabriolet look very much like the Coupe version. The difference is that these two have a modified retractable fabric roof featuring a lightweight magnesium frame. This way the new models combine the dynamic range of the new 911 Turbo models with the driving pleasure offered by an open-top sports car. The magnesium frame is responsible for keeping a coupe-like arch to the roof when the top is closed. The roof can be opened and closed in about 13 seconds. However the speed limit for this operation should be below 30 mph (48 km/h).

The Porsche 911 Turbo is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine that generates 520 hp in the open-top 911 Turbo and 560 hp in the S model. The cars sprint from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 and 3.1 seconds respectively, going for a top speed of up to 195 mph. If we were to compare them to the predecessor models, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolets produce some extra 30 horsepower and they are 0.2 seconds faster when it comes to the standard acceleration. The 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet U.S. EPA fuel consumption are estimated around 17.0 mpg city and 24.0 mpg on the highway. The two models will go on sale starting with the first part of 2014. The Turbo Cabriolet will be priced at $160,700 and the S version starts from $193,900.
